If he does not step down and Democrats lose the WH in 2024

They just need to lose the Senate in 2022. It's a possibility. Five of the ten really hot seas are held by Dems. One of them is Warnock in Georgia. He might just be out of office should GA Republicans have awakened from their "stolen election stupor".

If R's in general decide to vote in whoever they can and get enough people out to vote, that 51:50 Senate majority looks real shaky. Especially considering all the vothing BS they're pushing and the fact that Democrats are atrocious at messaging stuff and can't even really get hungry people excited about ham sandwiches.

McConnell back as majority leader would kill Biden SCOTUS appointments dead.

So many men think they’ll live forever.

No we don't!

people are cheering for "show me your papers" authoritarian bullshit

Passports, ID cards, drivers licenses, hunting/fishing permits, marriage certificates, liquor licenses, medical licenses and hundreds of other "papers" are just fake news.

Imagine not having a working right-and-wrong detector in your brain and fleecing these gullible dipshits for thousands of bucks.

The usual going "theory" is that the US armed Bin Laden specifically for some reason and that that's why 9/11 happened. It's dumb because the US threw money and weapons at basically everybody the 80's.

Just wanted to pre-empt that.

I'm convinced now.

The US armed a shit ton of people in the middle east. Bin Laden wasn't special in that regard.

You're still not showcasing why you think "a controlled demolition" might have been what happened.

But MOST explanations are actually the simplest. Bad shit happens sometimes. That's the way the world works.

You have yet to provide any evidence or credible theory or whatever else you find persuasive that explains that the WTC collapsing was "controlled demolition". Not seeing much other than you throwing around fancy words.

Can you stop throwing around logical fallacies like they're going to make you win a debate? I feel like I'm 14 again and watching Thunderf00t videos about how stupid VenomfangX is and nodding along.

The problem with your "absence of evidence" truism is that we (as in structural engineers, materials scientsits etc., which I am not) understand how the planes hitting the towers caused collapse.

The way the towers were built, what they were built out of etc. are known factors and engineering is able to explain what happened. Nothing about the towers coming down is a mystery in any way.

There are no large enough gaps in the timeline that allow for any explosives which were secretly planted in buildings that were always occupied to some extent.

Planes hit the towers, the prolonged fire of fuel and everything else on the interior weakened the steel core, gravity did its thing and the fuckers collapsed.

It wasn't a controlled demolition, though, and there is no credible evidence to suggest as much.

With the way crazies vaguely interpret what the "mark of the beast" is, it might as well be credit/bank cards.

Funnily enough, there used to be people that opposed barcodes because they believed them to be the mark.

Does it matter? The government can't tell social media platforms who they can and can't ban from their service, period, right?

Is there a clock or something somewhere that tells me which day they're going to believe what? It's tiring having to guess all the time.

The clock you're looking for has hands that are spinning at relativistic speeds. They simultaneously believe in everything and nothing at any given time.

wenn der behandelnde Arzt auch Diagnosen seiner Kollegen in die Anamnese mit ein einbeziehen kann

Können Ärzte doch. Müssen dich halt nur vorher fragen und du eine Schweigepflichtsentbindung (so spezifisch wie möglich) unterschreiben, dann ist das kein Problem.

The middle part of the text is much more interesting than him suddenly showing up to a virtual hearing.

his 30-year-old unlicensed law partner, Ryan Marshall, who told a judge Pierce was battling COVID-19 and was on a ventilator, unresponsive.

It triggered a confusing series of events: a few hours later, a purported colleague of Pierce’s said he was actually in the hospital for “dehydration and exhaustion,” then Marshall claimed Pierce had been in some sort of accident. Another person close to Pierce said he was hospitalized but was not on a ventilator.

The Daily Beast tried unsuccessfully to reach Pierce for days via phone, text, and email. His office numbers were out of service, and a contact number he submitted with his most recent court filing went directly to an unidentified voicemail. Major hospitals in Los Angeles had no record of his stay and a cell phone number listed for Pierce on his defunct firm’s website connected to a woman’s voice saying, “This is no longer the number for John Pierce. Please do not leave a message.”

You're either in hospital because of an accident or because you have a serious viral infection. They're pretty different things unless your infection made you faint and fall down a ladder or something. The phone number stuff is also just suspect af.

To me this reads like someone who, for whatever reason, wanted to get out of dodge, realized what a monumentally stupid idea that would be after a few days and then quickly pretended to have had Covid for ~two weeks as an alibi.

Had he really been sick, his " his 30-year-old unlicensed law partner" could have gotten detailed information and relayed it to the court and/or prosecutors and/or clients. Just saying he's unresponsive and on a ventilator is pretty measly.

Did the prosecutors filings ever say they have confirmed he's in the hospital/has Covid or was it more of an "we believe this to be the case because some people have said so" type deal?

This stinks.

Can the court order him to provide proof of his hospitalization/diagnosis? I remember there was a case being discussed here a year or two ago or so, where an attorney said he had to leave for a family emergency (death) and the judge later ordered them to show proof because things were weird. Turned out it was a real emergency I believe. But that's wasn't medical information.

Does the flame exert some kind of force in this scenario?

Fire is re basically oxidizing gas/fuel, so they do kind of have mass. Most of what you might coonsider force is directed upwards because the heat lowers the density of the air around the flames, making it rise. The burning would also somewhat increase pressure locally simply due to air being in motion, pushing some of the lighter air away from the heat parallel to the ground etc.

Any force of the fire "pushing" you you might experience is pretty minor compared to, say, a strong wind blowing against you, if there is anything to feel at all. If you stand next to a camp fire, have you ever felt like the flames are pushing you away from them with any kind of appreciable force?

I'm assuming he's being careful not to slip/fall down and takes a systematic approach. Or it's for show.

Being stupid != getting mistreated by the system. :V

That's not on the court or prosecution, though? They're allegedly fully functioning humans with brains.

ａｒｔｉｃｌｅｓ ｏｆ ｃｏｎｆｅｄｅｒａｔｉｏｎ

Especially given that this rally is about being angry over the treatment of the insurrectionists arrested on that day.

Are they being tortured by secreet police? Do they not have attorneys? Are court dates getting pushed back indefinitely or outright denied? No food, water, medical care? Seriously, what are people saying is happening to them outside of "they're political prisoners" or whatever?

A lot of them have gotten pretty nice deals considering all that happened on January 6.

Ich wollt grad sagen. Wir sind damals (Mitte/Ende der 90er in meinem Fall) nach der Schule mehr oder minder geschlossen mit von der Schule angestellten Hortleuten in den Hort gewandert. Da war, ich meine, erst 17 Uhr Feierabend.

Edit: Hier in ST gibt es scheinbar sogar einen Anspruch auf Hortbetreuung! Bis maximal 18 Uhr.

Ingeneure machen je nach Branche im Schnitt oft schon 50% mehr (Einstiegsgehälter) oder sogar fast das doppelte. Dachdeckergesellen (und besonders Meister) steigen je nach Region für 15€/h eh nicht auf anderer Leute Dächer.

Und ungelernte Arbeitskräfte placken oft auch ganz kräftig. Warum sollten die Ihre Arbeit für'n Appel un'n Ei verkaufen? 15€ Stundenlohn sind irgendwas in Richtung 2000€/M Netto. Eigentlich für einige Jobs oft noch viel zu wenig.
